Turkey hens can and do "puff up" just like the toms do. Early strutting is a dominance thing and does not prove what the sex is.First one looks like a boy, because girls do not puff up or dance. Usually you can spot a boy because in the beginning they will do this dance.

For photo IDs, post 3 pictures:
1 - Full front view
2 - Full side view
3 - One taken from above and behind clearly showing the back of the neck and top of the head.
The snood is the size and shape of a hen's snood. It clearly has the "mohawk" feathers on the top of the head. Hens have a "mohawk" while toms will be completely bald with a few hairs and no feathers on their head.
The second image appears to show breast feathers with a light colored edge which is another sign of being a hen. Toms will have dark colored or black lower edges on their mature breast feathers.
